Hi,
I need to implement a XSL that will replace text values in file1.xml
based on replacement information in file2.xml.
file2.xml provides an XPath that points to an attribute /
element value
and a replacement value. The XML has the form of:
<mapping>
<!-- should replace @attribute1 value that are 'foo' of
all element1
elements in file1.xml with 'bar'-->
<replace>
<xpath>//element1/@attribute1[.='foo']</xpath>
<with>bar</with>
</replace>
<replace>
... <!-- other replacement operations -->
</replace>
...
</mapping>
Is there an easy way to dynamically generate replacement
instructions in
my XSL. I thought of extracting replacement information from file2.xml
with the document function.
Either run file2.xml through
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:axsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform/alias";>
<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="axsl" result-prefix="xsl"/>
<xsl:template match="mapping">
<axsl:stylesheet version="1.0">
<xsl:for-each select="replace">
<axsl:template match="{xpath}">
<axsl:attribute name="{{name()}}">
<xsl:value-of select="with"/>
</axsl:attribute>
</axsl:template>
</xsl:for-each>
<axsl:template match="@* | node()">
<axsl:copy>
<axsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</axsl:copy>
</axsl:template>
</axsl:stylesheet>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
and then process file1.xml with the generated stylesheet. Or use Mike's
solution that used the extension function.
Cheers,
Jarno
